A United Nations human rights report has accused the former Awami League government of unprecedented political interference in institutions, including the judiciary, security forces, and administration. The report states that widespread corruption and extortion within law enforcement reflected the high-level corruption of the regime. During Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year rule, an estimated 74.4% of Bangladeshis fell victim to law enforcement corruption. The report also links the previous administration to misinformation campaigns, economic destruction, and large-scale money laundering.
